I would recommend anyone who needs art photography to avail themselves of Mitch Rossow Photography. We have worked together for 10 years and in that time has photographed and catalogued all my paintings besides managing all my website duties.

He believes in quality and craft.

Over the years he has refined his process to such an extent that the usual problems of glare and delicate color balance are no longer an issue.

For me personally his ability to hit subtle neutral tones and extremely nuanced tonal transitions make him the only choice to work with. Personally he is a courteous, punctual and easy to work with – a true professional.

I am an oil painter working in the contemporary style of expressive realism. Mitch Rossow has been my photographer for a few years now, and I have nothing but glowing words to describe what it is like to work with him. His photos have captured accurately the gamut of color palettes that I use, whether the subject is an 8x10” Plein Air flower study, the subtle gradations in 30x40” sunrises over the ocean, or large 4x6’ studio paintings of Italian villages and vistas.

I have had numerous paintings digitally scanned over the years, and I find that Mitch’s photos produce the same results for far less cost. We have sent his images to all venues including feature articles in national publications, international salons and competitions, and books and catalogs. It is wonderful to know that the photos I am sending are of the highest caliber, and meet all their specifications.

I need to add here that Mitch is a joy to work with, is very flexible and patient, and has a well trained, discerning eye.
